13 Booze And Wine Cocktails For Coping With Election Season

Feeling a little (or ALOT) stressed about the upcoming elections? Especially after the first debate between Donald and Hillary?

So are we!

You can't escape it. Everyday conversation is filled with fabrications of the latest election drama. Whether you're for or against Trump or Clinton, strong feelings surround either candidate. And that’s without mentioning who’s running in the rest of the elections.

It's like watching a car crash or the Kardashians. You want to look away, but you can't. The morbid curiosity just takes over. Well, that and the fact that the fate of the world is hinging on what happens in this election (yes, we added a little dramatic flair of our own).

It's time to close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and think of happy places. It'll all be over on November 8, 2016. Or at least the election drama will be! We can't speak for the actions of the elected candidate after the election. Or what the loser's reaction to losing will be.

If breathing, meditation and ignoring the situation isn’t working, try sipping booze and wine cocktails for the rest of the election season. A few of our 13 tasty alcohol laden cocktails are guaranteed to help you blunt the pain and cope with election season stress.

1 Blood Orange Thyme Mimosas

2 Hatch Green Chili Bloody Mary

Hatch Chili Wine

The only thing missing in Hatch Chili Wine's Hatch Green Chili Bloody Mary recipe is a splash of vodka, which you can easily remedy. Do remember this is early morning, so a controlled splash is suggested. Then again, if you get passed out drunk early, you won't have to remember the rest of the day.
